Abstract
Process for alkoxycarbonylation of olefins using synthesis gas.
Description
- The invention relates to a process for alkoxycarbonylation of olefins using synthesis gas (=mixture of CO and H2).
- The alkoxycarbonylation of ethylenically unsaturated compounds is a process of increasing significance. An alkoxycarbonylation is understood to mean the reaction of ethylenically unsaturated compounds (olefins) with carbon monoxide and alcohols in the presence of a metal-ligand complex to give the corresponding esters. Typically, the metal used is palladium. The following scheme shows the general reaction equation for an alkoxycarbonylation:
- Conventionally, an alkoxycarbonylation process is operated using CO. One is described in EP 4 001 256 A1. The feeding of H2 has to date been deliberately avoided since it was assumed that this would promote side reactions, for example a hydroformylation, and hence the conversion to the desired target product would decline.
- The technical object of the invention is that of providing a novel process that delivers an increased yield.
- The object is achieved by a process according to Claim 1.
- Process comprising the process steps of:
-
- a) initially charging an olefin;
- b) adding a ligand of formula (I):
-
- where
- R1 and R3 are each a —(C3-C20)-heteroaryl radical,
- R2 and R4 are each —(C1-C12)-alkyl;
- c) adding a compound comprising Pd;
- d) adding an alcohol;
- e) feeding in CO and H2, where the pressure with which H2 is fed in is at least 0.6 MPa (6 bar);
- f) heating the reaction mixture from steps a) to e), to convert the olefin to an ester.
- The expression (C1-C12)-alkyl encompasses straight-chain and branched alkyl groups having 1 to 12 carbon atoms. These are preferably (C1-C8)-alkyl groups, more preferably (C1-C6)-alkyl, most preferably (C1-C4)-alkyl.
- The expression (C3-C20)-heteroaryl encompasses mono- or polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon radicals having 3 to 20 carbon atoms, where one or more of the carbon atoms are replaced by heteroatoms. Preferred heteroatoms are N, O and S. The (C3-C20)-heteroaryl groups have 3 to 20, preferably 6 to 14, particularly preferably 6 to 10 ring atoms. Thus, for example, pyridyl is in the context of this invention a C6-heteroaryl radical and furyl is a C5-heteroaryl radical.
- In one variant of the process, CO is fed in with a pressure in the range from 1 MPa (10 bar) to 3 MPa (30 bar).
- In one variant of the process, CO is fed in with a pressure in the range from 1.5 MPa (15 bar) to 2.5 MPa (25 bar).
- In one variant of the process, CO is fed in with a pressure of 2 MPa (20 bar).
- In one variant of the process, H2 is fed in with a pressure in the range from 0.6 MPa (6 bar) to 2.9 MPa (29 bar).
- In one variant of the process, H2 is fed in with a pressure in the range from 0.9 MPa (9 bar) to 2.1 MPa (21 bar).
- In one variant of the process, H2 is fed in with a pressure in the range from 1 MPa (10 bar) to 2 MPa (20 bar).
- In one variant of the process, the ratio of the pressures with which CO and H2 are fed in is in the range from 1:0.3 to 1:1.4.
- In one variant of the process, R1, R3 are each selected from furyl, thienyl, pyrrolyl, oxazolyl, isoxazolyl, thiazolyl, isothiazolyl, imidazolyl, pyrazolyl, furazanyl, tetrazolyl, pyridyl, pyridazinyl, pyrimidyl, pyrazinyl, benzofuranyl, indolyl, isoindolyl, benzimidazolyl, quinolyl, isoquinolyl.
- In one variant of the process, R2 and R4 are terBu.
- In one variant of the process, the ligand in process step b) has the formula (1):
- In one variant of the process, the compound in process step c) comprising Pd is selected from palladium dichloride, palladium(II) acetylacetonate, palladium(II) acetate, dichloro(1,5-cyclooctadiene)palladium(II), bis(dibenzylideneacetone)palladium, bis(acetonitrile)dichloropalladium(II), (cinnamyl)palladium dichloride.
- In one variant of the process, the compound in process step c) comprising Pd is Pd(acac)2.
- In one variant of the process, the alcohol in process step d) is selected from methanol, ethanol, 1-propanol, 1-butanol, 1-pentanol, 1-hexanol, 2-propanol, tert-butanol, 3-pentanol, cyclohexanol, phenol, or mixtures thereof.
- In one variant of the process, the alcohol in process step d) is methanol.
- In one variant of the process, the process comprises the additional process step d′) of: d′) adding an acid selected from: aluminium triflate, sulfuric acid, methylsulfonic acid (MSA), para-toluenesulfonic acid (p-TSA).
